“When this bird works, he works,” said Kemp, laying his hand affectionately on Trenton’s shoulder.
Trenton followed them out, keeping close to Grace. When they were out of ear shot of her father—Durland apparently hadn’t noticed that Grace was in the room—Trenton said:
“I called you at home this evening and found you’d gone out. I want to see you; I must see you,” he said pleadingly.
Kemp had reached the main shop and was explaining to Irene some of the points of the motor.
“Kemp!” Trenton called. “What are you doing tomorrow night?”
“Nothing; I’m ready for anything.”
“Well, Grace and I would like to have dinner with you at The Shack.”
“A grand idea! Only remember—none of this prohibition stuff you pulled on me Christmas. I cannot dine without my wine!” he chanted.
When they reached the yard Kemp and Irene were waiting by the car. Trenton caught Grace’s hand and whispered:
“Remember, I love you! I shall always love you.”
